Kirk, this could be the result of a bad frac job or a geologic feature such as faulting.  The water rate is just frac fluid being flowed back but it is higher than other wells in the area.  Comstock has drilled some reasonably good wells in the area so this well seems to be an anomaly.

 

By the way, 17700 ft is the measured depth.  The True Vertical Depth (TVD) was 12415 ft which is similar to other wells in the area.

With a low test pressure of 3526 can a well "clean up" and produce reasonably well?

Kirk, it is possible but I give it a low probability.  Comstock may decide to just drill another well eventually.

The drill pipe stuck at 17122', they cut drill pipe at 14508' and left fish in hole and sidetracked without setting cement plug. This could have contributed to a bad frac job. Most likely all this well will do is HBP.

I noticed this is the same well that Dan Aaron was speaking of.  It was stated that most likely this well would go HBP...does this mean some type of production maintained in order  for Comstock to keep the lease? Also what if any would a Pugh agreement play into such an arragement?

Mr. Aaron states that he will receive royalities the end of September...so does that mean that everyone still gets a division order in this type of situation?

When I did a little exloring on Sonrise I saw where the well was returned to sales on 8-5-2011. Do not understand if it is a bad well why it is in sales?The detail of the drill pipe stuck at 14508' and left fish in hole and sidetracked without setting cement plug. This could have contributed to a bad frac job...Makes me question why Bob Gray LA DNR gave verbal approval to sidetrack around fish without setting a cmt plug.

This seems a muddle to me and I feel for the landowners in this situation.
